(See Solution) Consider the right triangle shown in the figure. Show that the area of the triangle is A(α)=1/2 ∫_0^alpha sec ^2 θ d θ


Question: Consider the right triangle shown in the figure.

  1. Show that the area of the triangle is \(A(\alpha)=\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\alpha} \sec ^{2} \theta d \theta\)
  2. Show that \(\tan \alpha=\int_{0}^{\alpha} \sec ^{2} \theta d \theta\)
  3. Use part (b) to derive the formula for the derivative of the tangent function.
